French Drain Installation in The Trophy Club, TX

Trusted Local Drainage Experts

Does water linger in your yard days after a storm? Are your flower beds washing away or your foundation showing early signs of cracking?

If you live in The Trophy Club, these symptoms often indicate a drainage issue made worse by the area’s dense clay soil, shallow slopes, and sudden North Texas weather shifts.

At Universal Foundation Experts, we specialize in French drain installation in The Trophy Club, TX, designed to eliminate excess water and protect your property. With over 15 years of experience, owner Selvin Rosa and our full-time in-house crew have helped homeowners across Trophy Club preserve their foundations, lawns, and landscapes with long-lasting drainage systems.

Why Homeowners in The Trophy Club Choose Universal Foundation Experts

With beautiful neighborhoods like The Highlands, Hogan’s Glen, and Canterbury Hills, homes in The Trophy Club are built for comfort and curb appeal—but that doesn’t stop water from causing hidden problems. Many homes are built close together on land with poor absorption and minimal runoff direction, making proper drainage a necessity—not a luxury.

What Is a French Drain?

A French drain is a discreet underground trench system designed to reroute groundwater and surface runoff away from your home and landscaping. It uses gravity to collect excess water and redirect it to a safe exit point.

Our French Drains Include:

  • A sloped trench that collects and guides water
  • A perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric
  • Layers of clean gravel for optimal flow and filtration
  • A custom discharge outlet such as a pop-up emitter or curb connection
Once installed, the system is completely invisible—yet highly effective during even the heaviest Texas storms.

Why Homes in The Trophy Club Need French Drains

Despite its beauty and planning, The Trophy Club’s soil and landscape present challenges. Expansive clay soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, shifting your foundation and causing long-term damage. With minimal slope between many homes, water tends to accumulate in yards, beds, and around structures.

A French Drain Helps Prevent:

Foundation Damage

Hydrostatic pressure from trapped water causes slab movement, cracks, and structural stress.

Bed and Lawn Washout

Rainstorms often strip mulch, gravel, and topsoil away from flower beds and turf areas.

Standing Water in Side Yards and Patios

Without drainage, water collects in the same low spots—making them muddy and unusable.

Indoor Moisture Issues

Moisture near your slab can migrate into flooring, baseboards, and wall cavities—raising humidity and mold risk.

Constant Replanting and Yard Maintenance

French drains stop you from re-sodding and replacing plants after every season.

Pests and Mosquitoes

Still water becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes and soil-burrowing insects like ants and termites.

Signs You Might Need a French Drain

Not sure if your yard has a serious drainage problem? These are common signs we see across homes in The Trophy Club:

  • Yard stays wet 24–48 hours after rain
  • Mulch or gravel repeatedly washes into the street
  • Foundation cracks forming near exterior walls or corners
  • Downspouts discharge directly into soil
  • Soil erosion near patios, driveways, or walkways
  • Fence posts tilting or leaning
  • Water pooling at the base of AC units or outdoor equipment
  • Musty smell in the garage, entryway, or crawl spaces

If one or more of these symptoms sounds familiar, we recommend a free drainage evaluation before the next storm season arrives.

A Personal Letter from Selvin Rosa

Dear Trophy Club Homeowner,

When water starts to affect your yard, your flower beds, or your foundation, it’s more than a nuisance—it’s a warning sign. Every week, I meet homeowners who’ve been told that standing water is “just part of living here.” I’m here to tell you it’s not.

At Universal Foundation Experts, we build systems that solve water issues permanently. We don’t patch the problem or install cheap solutions—we build it right, with in-house crews and a plan designed around your property.

If you’re tired of seeing the same soggy spots every time it rains, call me. I’ll personally walk your yard and show you how we can fix it—for good.

Sincerely,
Selvin Rosa
Owner, Universal Foundation Experts
